ElBaradei appealed to both sides to take a simultaneous "time out," with Tehran suspending efforts to produce nuclear fuel and major powers their steps to carry out sanctions, to allay fears of a slide into a U.S.-Iran conflict.
Tehran says it is refining uranium only for power plant fuel. Western leaders suspect a disguised atom bomb project.
"There is an urgent need for creative diplomacy and leadership. A durable peaceful solution will not come through pressure only," ElBaradei said in an interview with Germany's Der Spiegel magazine released on Friday.
